Project name: North Staffordshire Sustainable Transport Package A2. Headline description: The adopted Core Strategy, LTPs and consultations with local employers and the LEP all confirm that North Staffordshire is blighted by worklessness and deprivation whilst the local economy and environment suffers the effects of congestion, carbon emissions and poor bus journey times. Local travel patterns are dominated by short car trips, despite a reliance on sustainable travel modes for many journeys. Focussed on a cross-boundary economic growth corridor, the package will help to connect local residents, particularly employees, job seekers and people in further/higher education to the opportunities available at two universities and colleges, the University Hospital and significant employment areas. This key corridor will be enhanced with traffic management, bus priority, improved bus services, passenger information and safe pedestrian environments.

  • Catching Fire. the Impressive Lineup Is Joined by the Hunger Games
    Cast: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jeffrey Wright, Willow Shields, Sam Claflin, Jena Malone, Natalie Dormer, with Stanley Tucci, and Donald Sutherland Directed by: Francis Lawrence Screenplay by: Peter Craig and Danny Strong Based upon: The novel “Mockingjay” by Suzanne Collins Produced by: Nina Jacobson, Jon Kilik SYNOPSIS The blockbuster Hunger Games franchise has taken audiences by storm around the world, grossing more than $2.2 billion at the global box office. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 now brings the franchise to its powerful final chapter in which Katniss Everdeen [Jennifer Lawrence] realizes the stakes are no longer just for survival – they are for the future. With the nation of Panem in a full scale war, Katniss confronts President Snow [Donald Sutherland] in the final showdown. Teamed with a group of her closest friends – including Gale [Liam Hemsworth], Finnick [Sam Claflin] and Peeta [Josh Hutcherson] – Katniss goes off on a mission with the unit from District 13 as they risk their lives to liberate the citizens of Panem, and stage an assassination attempt on President Snow who has become increasingly obsessed with destroying her. The mortal traps, enemies, and moral choices that await Katniss will challenge her more than any arena she faced in The Hunger Games. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 is directed by Francis Lawrence from a screenplay by Peter Craig and Danny Strong and features an acclaimed cast including Academy Award®-winner Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Academy Award®-winner Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jeffrey Wright, Willow Shields, Sam Claflin, Jena Malone with Stanley Tucci and Donald Sutherland reprising their original roles from The Hunger Games and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.

  • The Tour Series Brings a New Concept in Cycle Racing to the UK Submitted By: Icons and Outcasts Tuesday, 24 March 2009
    The Tour Series brings a new concept in cycle racing to the UK Submitted by: Icons and Outcasts Tuesday, 24 March 2009 This summer the UK’s top professional cycling teams will battle it out gladiatorial-style in The Tour Series, a 10 round town and city centre series around the UK. The Tour Series is a revolutionary new concept in cycle racing which brings unique and exciting team racing to the streets of the UK. Unlike any other UK cycling series The Tour Series is not based on individual athletic performance, but instead on team performance. Starting on the 21st May, in Milton Keynes, 10 teams of five highly-tuned professional cyclists will engage in combat against each other to become the overall champions of The Tour Series. Each night the teams will aim to place their top three riders in the highest positions at the end of one hour of intense, fast-paced and attacking racing around a 1-1.5km city centre circuit - delivering all of the thrills and spills of this high-speed sport. From 7pm on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, The Tour Series promises to create a festival of cycling-based activities and races that will generate a carnival atmosphere at each of the chosen venues. Each round will be televised via a major Terrestrial broadcaster. Nine towns and cities are already confirmed to host a Tour Series event - Milton Keynes, Exeter, Woking, Peterborough, Blackpool, Southport, Stoke-on-Trent and Chester with the finals of the series being staged at Southend. The final venue completing the line-up is to be announced very soon.

  • Port Vale FC: Consultancy, Upgrade, and Maintenance Project
    SPORTS PROJECT CASE STUDY Port Vale FC: Consultancy, upgrade, and maintenance project About Port Vale Based in Stoke-on-Trent, England, Port Vale FC competes in League Two, the fourth tier of the English football league. Unlike most English clubs it’s not named after a specific geographical location. Instead, its name refers to the valley of ports on the Trent and Mersey Canal. Port Vale’s home ground since 1950 has been Vale Park. It was originally planned to be the ‘Wembley of the North’ with a massive 80,000 capacity. However, this ambition wasn’t fulfilled for various reasons and its current capacity is 19,000. The challenge When Port Vale contacted us in July 2020 it had two issues. Firstly, its current lighting wasn’t meeting the required levels specified for their league. Secondly, the club didn’t have the funds to cover a new system that would bring it in line with what was needed. So, they asked us to work initially as consultants to see what could be done with their current lighting to make it compliant. The lighting at Vale Park, when the club approached us, was far from ideal. It was a mix of low-quality LED lights (not supplied by us of course!) and costly to run and maintain old Metal Halide ones.
